A website dedicated to the collection of historic newspapers and the way in which historic events have been portrayed in the news. They have an archive of scanned historic newspapers, lists of historic events and the headlines that were produced for them, and a list of narratives describing newspaper printing technology over the years.

A great (very) short documentary about letter press printing as a modern art form. John Kristensen, the proprietor of Firefly Press in Somerville Massachusetts, talks about the physicality of the letter press: “You are dealing with physical stuff. Letters are things, not pictures of things…”

Beautiful quote at the end:

“It will die, eventually, because people will no longer remember how to do it [but] that’s okay. I’m only responsible for my watch. I’m thankful every day that I get to do this.”
